Projects

TREEADS mission is to reduce the amount of damage caused by wildfires while maximising the benefits of restoration, managing the impact of Wildfires on Communities. By adopting a multi-stakeholder, multi-actor approach at its core, the TREEADS solutions will contribute to sustainable development as an inclusive societal process and secure sustainability and resilience of natural environment, as well as local human societies. ACCELIGENCE will provide a light duty drone. The proposed UAV will provide a separate onboard computer with a GPU, running the latest version of ROS (Melodic).

CALLISTO aims to bridge the gap between Copernicus Data and Information Access Services (DIAS) providers and application end users through dedicated Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions. It will provide an interoperable Big Data platform integrating Earth Observation (EO) data with crowdsourced and geo-referenced data and observations from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. CALLISTO will be pilot-tested in real environments, providing geolocation-based services in applications relevant to agricultural policymaking, water management, journalism, and border security. ACCELI will provide a fully customized UAV, able to accommodate the existing controllers, to easily integrate CALLISTO visual sensors on our drones. The UAV will be equipped with a high-end N-IR camera (RedEdge-MX by MicaSense).

The AquaSPICE overall goal is the development and validation of water efficiency management and optimization methodologies, technologies and tools that will carry process industries forward to a near-zero water footprint target with minimum freshwater consumption and water-borne emissions. The main role of ACCELI is to lead Stakeholder Engagement and Design of co-creation environments activities establishing a business-case oriented, stakeholder-inclusive approach to ensure relevance and impact of the AquaSPICE innovation.

IoT-NGIN introduces novel research and innovation concepts, acting as the “IoT Engine” which will fuel the Next Generation of IoT as a part of the European Next Generation Internet. IoT-NGIN uncovers a pattern based meta-architecture that encompasses evolving, legacy, and future IoT architectures. The project also optimizes IoT/M2M and 5G/MCM communications, including using secure-by-design micro-services to extend the edge cloud paradigm. ACCELIGENCE will be responsible for deploying ML models on Drone Microcontroller system.

The 7SHIELD project addresses the security and the resilience of EU Ground Segments of Space Systems, meeting the crosscutting and the sectorial criteria of the EU critical infrastructures. 7SHIELD integrates a series of state-of-the-art technological achievements from multidisciplinary fields, namely sensors technologies, IoT, semantic reasoning, high-level analytics, decision support systems, crisis management, situational awareness. All these technologies will focus on the protection of critical infrastructures such as ground segments of space systems. ACCELIGENCE will be responsible for deploying the tools for data collection from UAVs and processing at the edge.

ISOLA will develop, integrate, test, deploy, demonstrate, and validate a systematic and fully automated security approach by incorporating innovative technologies for sensing, monitoring, data fusion, alarming and reporting realtime during illegal incidents. ACCELIGENCE will provide a fully customized tethered UAV, which will be able to operate (theoretically) 24/7 since it will be powered by a ground station (EoP cable). The drone will be equipped with a dual EO-IR stabilized camera and will stream the captured video through the EoP cable to the ground control station for analysis.

RECOMBINE joins the scientific excellence and expertise of key academic and industrial players into a joint collaborative effort to build the framework for the design of FWNs beyond 5G that are able to support multiple operational standards for exploitation of intrinsic network heterogeneity; capable of processing information generated from a huge volume of heterogeneous sources and with sufficient intrinsic resilience to counter potential security threats. RECOMBINE will pursue innovations for advancing in the areas of mm-wave technology, licensed spectrum access, antenna design, channel propagation and modelling, and network prediction and quality of experience supported by artificial intelligence. In addition, RECOMBINE will integrate scientific and business model innovations for building a framework to fulfil the economic potential of FWNs.

ACCELI will bring its expertise in developing ultra-compact antennas suitable for UAVs. Thus, ACCELI will lead the design and development of a small prototype antenna that can be used for direction finding of signals in 3D space, where UAVs are typically operated.
